Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
MCP Server Tools (10)
get_momentum
Get current developer momentum: last checkpoint, next step, blockers, and branch context. Use this to understand where the developer left off. Pass tier or model to control detail level.
get_session_history
Get recent session checkpoints. Returns a chronological list of what the developer worked on.
get_reentry_briefing
Get a synthesized re-entry briefing that helps a developer understand where they left off. Includes focus, recent activity, and suggested next steps. Pass tier or model to control detail level.
get_decisions
Retrieve past architectural decisions automatically captured from high-signal commits. Call this BEFORE modifying code in areas likely to have past decisions: auth systems, database schemas, API contracts, infrastructure config, migrations, or core architectural patterns. Also call when a user asks to change a technology choice, reverse a past approach, or asks "why did we do X". Returns decisions scoped to current branch by default; pass branch: "all" for project-wide history.
